My use case isn't everybody's, of course, but is it an increasing number of people's? But here's the thing: I haven't shot with that camera since I got my iPhone 7 Plus. My DSLR uses SDHC cards and, on my last MacBook Pro, I could just pull the card from the camera, plug it into the Mac, and grab my photos or videos.
I've been using the non-Touch Bar version of the MacBook Pro 2016 for almost a week. Nobody thinks we'll be using SDHC or USB-A in a decade, but between now and then there'll be a lot of turbulence and anyone not on the bleeding edge of it will get battered around a fair bit before it passes. That said, I think the frustration isn't so much that Apple removed the SD card slot - or any of the old ports - but when they chose to remove it. Schiller is a huge camera enthusiast, particularly for Leica, so he's well-versed in the limitations and pains involved in image and video transfer. So we think there's a path forward where you can use a physical adaptor if you want, or do wireless transfer. And then more and more cameras are starting to build wireless transfer into the camera. So we could never really resolve this – we picked SD because more consumer cameras have SD but you can only pick one.
Then there are very fine and fast USB card readers, and then you can use CompactFlash as well as SD. You've got this thing sticking halfway out. The new Pros have no SD card slot for a camera memory card. Phil Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide product marketing, talking to The Independent:
